Unwanted furniture

Around Gloucestershire there are many other charitable organisations that will also take your unwanted furniture (which must meet the latest fire regulation standards). The furniture is then sold on cheaply, providing an essential service to people on low incomes. The charities also provide much needed training and employment opportunities for their local area. Visit our page Reusing unwanted items.

Electrical goods

Some local organisations also take white goods such as fridges, freezers and washing machines, as well as microwaves and televisions, which can be refurbished where necessary and reused.

Please follow the links in the above charity shop section to find local organisations which are able to take either unwanted furniture or electrical goods for reuse.

Leisure equipment

Gloucestershire Bike Project can make good use of your old bike and also offers a range of refurbished and fully serviced adult and children's bikes for sale.
